I was updating software with latest release (22.10.2010) of firmware and it fals during operation after 23% was done. I have had problems with my USB port on my laptop and maybe it cause thisw failure.

Now situation is quite hopeless from my point of view. I have tried to recovery it by myself without success. Watch does not have anything on display (not even nor give any sounds when pressing buttons.

Hi Rookie,

Sorry for my mistake. Try the new combination, UP+ENTER+POWER.

Hello Rookie,

It sounds stange, we have implemented bootloader as separated ROM and I never find it. Let's try to lay it over night and then charge it even no display. Then try to press "UP+ENTER+POWER" again. If still failed, maybe the hot key is different for previous firmware. Please send back for our investigation.

Yes, it still fails.Can I send it to address which is in your email signature?

We received the return defective sample which was failed to updated.We succeed to press the combination key to rescue device to update firmware. It appears that you didn't press correctly to active boot mode. We will send back to you by express later.
